News for Professional Advisors

Capital campaigns are booming right now, and it can be hard for your clients to determine which ones they want to support. The Community Foundation is here to help.

In the landscape of our growing community, an unprecedented surge in capital campaigns is on the horizon, presenting both opportunities and challenges for potential donors. As these campaigns multiply, individuals and organizations alike find themselves at a crossroads, seeking meaningful ways to allocate their charitable contributions amidst a sea of options.

On one side, there are numerous organizations kick-starting ambitious projects aimed at education, health care, and public services — each making compelling cases for support. On the other, donors are increasingly cautious, aiming to ensure that their financial contributions not only align with their personal values but also make a substantial impact.

This saturation of capital campaigns poses a significant challenge: donor fatigue. As potential contributors are bombarded with requests for funding, the risk of overwhelming them is real, potentially leading to a hesitance to engage with any campaign at all. This is where the unique role of the Community Foundation becomes crucial.

We are equipped with the tools and expertise to navigate through the myriad of charitable opportunities, helping donors identify and invest in the campaigns that resonate most deeply with their passions and goals. By providing tailored advice based on research and deep understanding of local needs, the Foundation can connect your client’s passions to purpose.

The Community Foundation’s role extends beyond matchmaking and is more than just a facilitator; the Foundation is a valuable partner ensuring that generosity meets purpose, and donor intentions translate into tangible community benefits.

Are your clients overwhelmed by which campaigns to fund and unsure of which ones are most likely to succeed? Lean on the experience of our staff to help your clients make informed decisions.
